The Brexit referendum had a more seismic effect on UK politics than many could have imagined at the time.
The taking back of control has resulted in many changes to the landscape of policy and the effect of work that people do everyday.
It’s also opened up the potential for more people to have their say in the process of what goes on here.
It doesn’t require a European passport, coin, or vote to make things happen, and saying something is risk-free from the rebuke of cultures.
It’s also back to business for the hawks that make our system work, filtering out the nasties and bringing the best back to the table.
This is necessary to make government strong, and to make it purposeful in many people’s lives.
The arguments made still stand as priorities for anyone that seeks to govern here. It’s necessary to talk about Europe but in our own terms and with our own purposes in mind.
The burden to be fair has lifted and a liberal and proactive politics can come to life again.
